I=E2=80=99ve framework 13 with amd 7840u. I=E2=80=99ve tried several models b=

claim any specific numbers, but as I remember the best numbers were around=20=

a hundred tokens per second. In any case it=E2=80=99s few orders of magnitud=

 what is realistically required.

If someone has a powerful hardware and is willing to benchmark sashiko with o=

models, I=E2=80=99m very interested in results.

Fully agree. But it might change in few years, things are moving quickly.=
